    The video is very nice and I feel it is very important in the context of post-doc life of a scientist, where the methodology adopted essentials depends on oneself. Can you please suggest what to do when for multiple projects we see that ideas do not lead to sufficient progress, which results in frustration?

  • @pavan-sci-history
    @pavan-sci-history3 күн бұрын

    Good point...multiple project requires prioritization. Focusing on one big project and having a few side projects is better. As time progresses, one can rotate priority after making some progress. Easier said than done, but it is useful.

They are the best talent of that generation and yet two thirds of them give up on football. Not just pro football. They give up football altogether.

  • @pavan-sci-history
    @pavan-sci-history26 күн бұрын

    Indeed, it is a good observation. Curiosity comes from being proactive. Settling to being reactive is always easy. Being curious needs energy. It is a worthy way of spending our energies. In the long run, being reactive will exhaust our minds and perhaps our lives too. Instead, being curious helps us to live...

    Interesting conversation - Dr. Lakhtakia taught one of my courses at Penn State, this would be in 1992. That was one of the introductory Engineering Mechanics classes - I think his was the Dynamic motion class. As a 2nd year college student, I was amazed that he would enter the classroom armed with nothing more than a piece of chalk. His explanations, example problems, etc. for the next hour - all came directly from his memory - and very well done every day. I told of him to all my engineering classmates - I expected he was one of the smartest people I 'knew'. In 1992, while I was taking his course, I looked up what he did for research, etc. and then I realized that the course that he was teaching us was just the beginning of his knowledge. Nice to see he's still at Penn State!
